Roosevelt declares that war criminals are a complicated issue. Wouldn't it be better to have this issue discussed by the three foreign ministers? Let them give their conclusions in 3-4 weeks.

Churchill says that he drew up a draft declaration on war criminals for the Moscow Conference of 1943. <...>

Stalin asks what should be done with the criminals that have already been caught – such as Hess?.. Can prisoners of war be considered war criminals? Up until now, the common opinion was that war criminals cannot be tried in court. <...>

Roosevelt says that the process should not be overly juridical. In any case, journalists and photographers should not be allowed into the courtroom.

Churchill says that, in his opinion, trials of the leading criminals must be political rather than legal processes.
